Registration & Housing

Registration and housing are linked together. You must register to secure a hotel room.

HOTEL ROOMS - AIHA Connect will not contact you by phone for hotel reservations.
ATTENDEE LISTS - AIHA neither sells nor authorizes third party distribution of our attendee lists.

Maritz Global Events is the official hotel and registration vendor.

Hotel scammers and list-sellers are relentless. Both are an industry-wide issue, which contributed to the 2024 enactment of the FTC’s Government and Business Impersonation Rule (source). Be aware and report when possible.
